In light of 7th ed and my current armour 14 wall in progress, i was wondering what people thought of this.

Tank Commander- LR Vanquisher- LC- 175
LR Vanquisher- LC- 145

Primaris Psyker- L2- 75
Primaris Psyker- L2- 75

Vet Squad- 2 MG, 1 HF- 90
Vet Squad- 2 MG, 1 HF- 90

LR Punisher- HB sponsons- 160
LR Punisher- HB sponsons- 160

Stormlord- 1 pair of lascannon sponsons- 530

= 1500

TC squad dedicated anti-tank
Punishers dedicated anti-horde
Stormlord can do both
1 psyker in each vet squad, both squads in stormlord, both psykers looking for divination to twinlink both russ squadrons.
Armour 14 dakka

Thoughts please guys.

Yours aye.

Vet squad never hit a target without transport... Also you are missing something against flyers.

.........ok, both squads will be in the stormlord.

Also you are missing something against flyers.

er.....hows 58 str 5 shots from punishers which can be twinlinked and then twinlinking the stormlord for 15 str 6 and another 9 str 5 from HB's?

thats 82 shots that could all be twinlinked from the 2 psykers.

Not enough?

Well these guns don´t have a skyfire rule, so you are going on 6. And str 5 is useles against 12AV, yes it might hit some AV10 or creatures... but hey, you have massive antitroop firepower and you want to waste it on flyers? And be careful, AM 2 psykers not always do successful divination, since your enemy can do easily deny the witch even on blessing...

true, but that many shots most likely twin-linked will still hit enough against anything AV 11 or worse.

I get your point but the only flyer that can cause me problems and take it in return is a stormraven which are few and far between in my area.

And be careful, AM 2 psykers not always do successful divination, since your enemy can do easily deny the witch even on blessing...

i can deny it, but not easily, he needs as many 6+ as i roll 4+. on average i should be rolling 4 dice per divination. granted not a gimme.

I see. Stormravens and Vendettas would be problem for you, but as far you are not facing against them, you will be fine.

Remember you can only cast blessings on the units inside the transport with the 7th ed rules.

Where does it say that? I ask as I haven't heard that one.

Looks like Psykers embarked on transports can only target enemy units with witchfire psychic powers. And that's only if there are firing points with line of sight to the enemy. Otherwise no other powers can be manifested. Attached a screenshot.

Thanks for the post. That kinda poo's on my parade regarding my original plan.

Looks like my only option is to foot slog the psykers, hiding bravely behind the AV14 wall.

Any suggestions on what i "could" spend points on if i was to drop the psykers?

Priests fair fairly well. Imo well worth their points, especially (and im just assuming from their kit) since their combat orientated. Iv had major success with them and that rule that grants them Stomp is epic :3
or if youv got gak rolls, maybe a LC with a power weapon?
Thats just imho what works for me.
